HelloGreat scarf, making one formyself in my fav yarn, cotton acrylic mix, soft. Correct me if I am wrong, when you chain 17, the v stitches are not even out, at the end, you skip chain then double crochet, I did that but there is no chain to skip if you do 17 chains. You need to do even number of chains, like in your diagram you have 14 and stitches are all even. I hope this makes sense. I love this pattern, this will give me lacy scarf and flexible. I did even stitches and it is fine. Thankyou for sharing. :)

This scarf looks a beauty, we will be camping soon and with my mum, brother and myself suffering with Raynauds disease we are looking for no end of patterns for warm clothing to crochet for when winter comes in again next year. Can't wait to get started on one of these, I bet they would be warm and especially made with 12 ply wool. Thanks for posting.

Hi Theresa - love this pattern! Your blog is so informative! I've crocheted along to a few of your videos and they really help increase my confidence. Recently I've made a hat a scarf set using a variation on shell stitch and they look great in a chunky yarn, but I wanted to make some gloves (not mittens) to go with, but I can't find even a simple dc or tr crochet pattern - can you help?!? Keep up the great work ;-)

MonikaRose,The very first loop in the diagram is the one that the crochet hook goes in so it should be thought of as the hook loop. When you count back, you are not counting the very first chain because the hook goes in it. You will be working in the remaining 16 chains. The first 4 loops in the diagram count as the first double crochet plus the loop that the hook is in. I have not created a satisfactory image yet for a crochet hook but I am working on it. I have been caught by my own symbol diagrams but then I remember the first chain is the hook chain. I apologize about that.

Hi theresa,I like ur blog very much this is very informative..i love crochet and i made a cap for my 2year dauther with ur video help. Now i want to make gloves for her and i searched ur site for gloves pattern but couldnt get it. Can u plz help me to make it.

Very pretty and feminine pattern. I just finished a scarf based on this lesson. It turned out nicely - very flexible even though I've used the 100% wool yarn. Do you have any suggestion for a more neutral scarf pattern for guys other than the simple double or single crochet? Thank you very much!

Happy New Year! Thanks Teresa. I've started before your reply with alternating rows of DC and *1 SC in front loop only, 1 SC in back loop only*. That turns out quick nicely as well. I will keep the seed pattern for my next project. Thank you for sharing again.

Blaque,That is a very good question. What you do is, cut the yarn. This time you wrap the yarn over the pull the tail through the loop. This will secure the stitches from coming apart. After that you will sew in the tail. I am including a link to a video showing how to hide the yarn tails.

Extended or Long Double Crochet - This is where you will work a double crochet several stitches below the row you are on. You will need to pull up on the stitch and allow for some additional yarn, so the stitch does not sag.

Multiple: 4
You will add 4 chains for each segment of the pattern stitch that you want to add to the width.

Example: If you want to make a baby afghan with a size I/5.5mm crochet hook, 4-ply yarn, you will chain 108. This will give you an estimated width of 34 inches.

Ch 31Row 1: DC in 3rd CH from hook, DC in next CH, *CH 1, SK 1 CH, 1 DC in EA of next 3 CH. Continue across from * for width of pattern.

Drop Stitch - The drop stitch will be worked below the two previous row of shell stitches. Wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook 2 rows below, between the shell stitches, pull the yarn up. Repeat one more time for a total of 5 loops on the hook.

Row 1: DC in the 4th CH from the hook, DC in the next CH, Skip 4 chains, in the next CH(5th chain) work *2DC, CH1, 2DC, SK 4 CH's, Repeat from * across for the width, 1 DC in ea of the last 2 chains.

Row 2: CH 2, DC in the next DC, work *2DC, CH1, 2DC in the next CH 1 Space. Repeat from * across for the width, 1 DC in ea of the last 2 DC.
